Gaffney and Ward are the Republicans voting for a tax increase. Ward changed his vote AFTER the board was closed, not sure why. Maybe because he promised the Governor. Maybe he fell on his sword to get several Dem vulnerables to vote YES.

Send a thank you note to Judy, and to Dick Ball richardball@house.mi.gov He was solid red right from the start. Thank Rick Shaffer, Howard Walker, Judy Emmons. They did the right thing.

Thank you Jack for your updates and your committment to the taxpayers of Michigan.My husband and i are lucky. We have the resources to move out of this state... We among those who pay a huge share of the taxes and are beginning to really resent it. I understand there are states with no sales tax... guess I'll start my research.We've worked hard for our money- started out making $7000. after college graduation... and won't apologize to anyone for working hard and being successful... but we don't want to fund the state nor the teachers' life long health insurance benefits.

This is the biggest slap in the face to those of us who are trying to stick it out here in Michigan.My "Forsale By Owner" sign goes up on the front lawn, in the morning. This is absolutely "NUTS" The State of Michigan is a huge embarrassment to the rest of our great nation. It is a total train wreck.
